Big Brother 2015 Live Recap: Episode 25 – OTEV Is Back!

While tonight’s episode of Big Brother 2015 might be on the more slower side of things, at least we have OTEV making a return for tonight’s Power of Veto competition on Big Brother 17! It sounds like the HGs will be running to find dolls to sacrifice to OTEV in an attempt to win the POV on Big Brother 17! Watch with us tonight during my Big Brother 2015 Live Recap and see who won Power of Veto on Big Brother 2015 tonight!

Last time on Big Brother 17, we got to see the new HOH competition for Week 8, which had the HGs looking at emojis and answering questions. It was a REAL brainteaser, as Liz won. She was probably one of the last ones I wanted to win this competition, but it happened. From there, the Austwins set their plans in motion and the nominations were in place: John and Becky. Nothing really swayed this from going one way or another, as they seemed to know on Thursday night what they were going to do.

Here we go…back to after the Nomination Ceremony and Becky said if a train can’t stop her then these HGs can’t! Vanessa tries to smooth things over with Johnny Mac, but he just wants to nap and she is his only enemy now! Now the Austwins say that JMac is giving them attitude and angry and alone and he may go home now and upset that he hasn’t come to them for a deal. Steve tries to talk to them to smooth things over.

Now we see JMac go to HOH and talk with Liz and Austin about Vanessa and he is throwing Vanessa under the bus and they seem to be buying it. JMac wants Van gone and this will keep him safe for the week. JMac said it best: whoever gets her (Vanessa) eviction is gold! So, why wouldn’t Liz do it???

Picking Veto Players – After more pranks from James for Julia, the HGs pick Veto players. Liz picks HG Choice and chooses Austin. John picks Meg. Becky picks Steve. Julia is upset that she never gets picked!

So, John tells Austin that he will throw it to him and he trusts them. Austin likes this info, as he brings it to the twins and then pukes up tuna fish. Then John is telling Becky that he is throwing it and the only way both of them are staying is if she wins it, but she said she is a one-hit wonder!

VETO COMPETITION – It is time for OTEV and it is a rockin’ roll. There is food everywhere in the backyard and he will sing a song about an evicted HG. Slide down the ramp and find the stick of butter with that person’s name on it. Last player to bring the butter or bring the wrong butter and they are eliminated. Last one standing wins POV for Week 8 on Big Brother 2015.

ROUND 1 – It was a clue for Jason and John is eliminated (he did throw it)

ROUND 2 – First to go in the DE, so it is Shelli. Steve is out this round, as he wants to keep his comp win total down and not be a threat (don’t worry Steve, you aren’t a threat to anyone). Also, meg took a huge fall on the ramp and that looked like it hurt!

ROUND 3 – It is for Clay and Becky just steals some from Austin, as she ain’t afraid of the beast! However, she is the last one up there and has been eliminated.

ROUND 4 – Second person evicted and it is Da’Vonne. Meg is eliminated this round.

FINAL ROUND – It is Liz versus Austin. It is for Jace, as his face was erased from the Memory Wall. Liz gets it right and she wins POV and has all the power this week!

Now we are going to play up the “backdoor Vanessa” plan. Vanessa getting paranoid and talking game to Austin and Liz. All this talk and Liz and Austin plan to let someone else evict Vanessa. I will NEVER understand this move.

I love this, as they show Liz with the hickey from Austin. Julia is PISSED and she said he gets tuna stuck in his beard, which was right there touching her face and neck. Then she said he is not the guy you bring home to dad and if he does it again then she is coming after him with a bat!

Vanessa plays the victim and brings on the tears, as she tells Steve she feels all alone. Liz comes over and she said she is all alone and she feels distance from Austin. Yeah, in DR Liz talks about putting her on the block and then crying in jury and leaving her one more week in this house then she’d come after Austin and take him out.

VETO MEETING – Despite what CBS made us think tonight, there was never any consideration of Liz using this today. Becky talks about being HOH last week and none of Austwins being on the block. John said the blue couches are more comfortable. Liz said they both are strong competitors and the one eliminated will be coming back from jury, so she does not use it and the nominees stay the same.

What do you think of tonight’s show?

so i was wondering / and maybe someone knows – but after thursday when the eviction happens and we then have 3 in the jury house – if they are playing to come back would that not happen this week and then they come back in and play for the hoh??

No, it usually happens when there are 4 jury members. It won’t happen this week or Julie would have told us last Thursday. It’s possible they could have it like BB15. The 4 jurors competed alongside the remaining hgs. So it was possible for them to win their way back in and become HOH at the same time.

She really is a piece of work. She wouldn’t know a decent bb strategy if it bit her in the rump. She’s spent the entire season d**k teasing a moron male she can hide behind. Even when she talks game, she says “we”. I reeeeeally can’t stand her.

Since I don’t get the live feeds, I have a question for those of you who do. The question is: how in the name of sanity can you listen to Vanessa talk, talk, talk more than the amount they subject us to on the broadcast??
I am sure you are all familiar with that painting by E. Munch titled “The Scream”–well that is yours truly after listening to Vanessa talk, talk, talk.

She’s been sleeping more lately during the hours I watch. But I click to another camera unless I think I really need to hear what she’s saying. And most of the time, you can listen for five minutes and turn away because she just repeats herself!

I’m not sure I would make it the full five minutes, LOL! I am just so fed up with the stupidity level of the HGs this season. Another perfect chance to get Vanessa out and another bust. Now they are worried that she will come back from the jury house if they evict her and they don’t want a mad Vanessa after them. I prefer to look on the bright side–she would be gone for awhile and maybe she would NOT be the one returning. If she did return, then just vote her out again unless she comes back with some special power. I think thick heads must have been a requirement for this season’s HGs.

so i was wondering / and maybe someone knows – but after thursday when the eviction happens and we then have 3 in the jury house – if they are playing to come back would that not happen this week and then they come back in and play for the hoh??

It occurs to me this is yet another stupid twist poorly done. Bringing this person back so late doesn’t allow them to reallign with anyone or hide behind a bigger target. That’s why they always get evicted again immediately. They need to reenter the house with a special power or immunity for one week. Something.

Maybe. Jackie is certainly our best bet. That is, if James survives one more week. But I think Becky – who my gut tells me is likely to return – is disillusioned that her HoH set her up for eviction. And that she can blame on JaMeg. This next week will be important. Either JaMeg or JMac as HoH is good. If an AssTwit wins again, they’ll weasel out again on Vanessa. If Van wins…. I think she’ll do the easy thing and aim at James (who’s afraid of Meg’s wrath?) instead of the smart thing and take out a triplet. Heaven forbid if Stepid wins HoH this week…..

Sorry to occupy this post, but got a question for anyone who watches/ed tonight’s ep with DRs. Anyone else pick up on the WAY Julia poo-pooed Liz’s relationship with Asstin? Hey, I’m the first to agree Asstin is creepy on multiple levels. But the way she said her parents wouldn’t approve of the KIND of man Asstin was. Just very elitist. Haughty.

I get it. He weirds me out. He’s too hairy. He sweats and works out too much. His ugly tats make it hard to see HIM. And his obsession over Liz has made him look the fool. But other than letting his (apparently sincere) feelings for a ho ruin his bb game, he hasn’t actually ACTED like a bad man. He’s lied a pretty good bit when needed. But he hasn’t bullied anyone, and unlike his ho, he isn’t USING Liz for his own game.

I did notice that and liked it when I heard it, but now reading this comment made me think more about it. It seems like Liz and Julia probably come from money and have been spoiled their entire lives. I feel they probably have dated the hot, beefy, douche types and Austin is completely different from that. I am picturing Jersey Shore-type guys in her past. So, maybe not the same as looks, but he probably is a better guy than them.

Take away the ho descriptor and spoiled brat is the next thing I’d use to describe them. Especially Liz. But it could be the only difference between Liz and Julia is that Asstin fixated on Liz. Who knows if Julia would have acted any differently.

Yeah, I agree. I jumped to liking the statement because I hate Asstin, but now I see it differently. She could do worse!

I would be intrigued to see how much I would like Julia if she played on her own. I feel Liz was the original player, so we have her to compare her to. Julia had to act like Liz at first, so maybe Julia would have acted differently. I get the vibe that she would and I would like her, but then I don’t know.

Todd I agree with you on this but I think the next move really and I hope it’s Shelly this week that way we could get james to get vanessa out or Liz i’m torn between both but the twins need to be split up

I noticed Julia’s upturned nose at Austin also. She said he “wasn’t the type to take home to meet the parents”. Personally, i’d like to be a fly on the wall in Liz’s parents house when she brings him home to meet them. Biff and Buffy are not going to know what hit them. Their little sorority girl needs a man with a monogrammed shirt. Not a man whose body is monogrammed. They just strike me as the country club type. I read somewhere (can’t remember where) that the parents gave the twins boob jobs for their graduation presents. I don’t know if that’s true but it would certainly fit right in with the entitled attitude.

Geez. I hate to be in the position of defending Asstin again. Among others things, I lost total respect for him on any level when he changed which … body part … he started thinking with after like 2 weeks around Liz. But I do believe his feelings are real to him. Liz on the other hand is a lower form of life. She’s not only using her sexuality to get what she wants, she’s also knowingly leading on a guy she knows cares for her. And there’s only one way to interpret what she’s allowing in the HoH room with a guy she barely knows and barely likes. I’d rather see ANYONE left in that house win the game except her.

You don’t have to defend Austin to me! I agree with you! 🙂 I also agree that it will be one of the worst winners in BB history if Liz walks away with the prize. I’d rather Austin win…..and drop her like a hot potato. On stage. During the finale. With a WWE Ring girl on his arm.

Yea. I was agreeing with you. Just waxing philosophical instead of going to bed! I think both twits are spoiled opportunists. Period. I’m so sick of Liz’s affected pronouncements in the DR – like she’s watching herself in front of a mirror. I seriously think she’ll wind up in Playboy. Or Penthouse.

I also have noticed that Liz will make a reference to Julia that Julia is ugly (which is really weird since they are identical) and Julia seems especially sensitive to it and offended and looks like she believes it for a minute and then Julia will say “Noooooooo, I’m pretty.” It’s just a very strange back and forth thing with them. It feels like a way that Liz reminds Julia that she (Liz) has the upper hand which is quite the opposite from my original impression of them .. and also how attached they are to the “pretty” theme.

This episode was all about editing, they took a boring week and made it sound super suspenseful Big meanie HOHitis Liz and poor poor Vanessa, everybody feel sorry for her because she is so lonely and all the big mean houseguests are not nice enough to her.

Absolutely. And it’s scary how well Liz can lie. She’s consoling Van on the hammock, telling her she’s not alone, then goes into the DR and slams her. I get the lying in BB part, but this is like my argument when The Rat did it: People who are THAT good at lying ALL the time in the house (especially in personal or emotional situations) have had a lot of practice outside the house.

I don’t know, except that someone said she had some kind of occurrence before she came onto the show that resulted in her big toenail being removed somehow … and then re-injured it in the OTEV comp. Ouchie! I just hope it doesn’t get so bad that she actually has to quit the show and she leaves before eviction and it somehow changes the game.

I am not sure about before BB, but that is right about injuring it during the Veto comp. She did go into DR yesterday and a medic came and apparently lanced it and she said drained all the bad stuff, so it should be good to go very soon.

Becky and Liz had a conversation about it yesterday afternoon. Becky lost a toe nail a few years back and ever since, it’s susceptible to injury (like your collar bone rebreaking easily after it’s broken once). So she said she kept nailing the post in the HoH comp she won, then it got irritated again in Otev. It got infected and they had to lance it. If you’ve never had anything like that happen … ouch! The pressure when infection builds in your foot! Anyway, I assume she’s on antibiotics and will heal quickly now. No doubt she’ll lose the toe nail again.

Just one more comment Cat about your applying for BB Canada and I’ll let it go, I promise. Last time you didn’t have your Permanent Residency, now you do, it may make a big difference on being accepted. I’d love so much for you to be on the show, you would be terrific 🙂
